There's a lot of hyperventilation that takes off before the [Sundance Film] Festival, a lot of buzz.

Because I think the festival shows that what succeeds is content.

Robert Redford
Golf has become so manicured, so perfect. The greens, the fairways. I don't like golf carts. I like walking. Some clubs won't let you in unless you have a caddy and a cart.
Robert Redford
In fact, I think more broadly about what an audience requires, but I want an audience to be fascinated by the process of finding an answer, or finding out there isn't one.
Robert Redford
I'm not interested in a film about golf but I am interested in golf as a metaphor.
